It's not about if you don't feel safe in your home. People still break in while your there. I always carry my CCW from the moment I get out of bed, until I go to bed. There is always a gun within 20 feet on me in my house. If your home is your castle, then why would you NOT want to protect it?

It is not as rare as you would like to think. Criminals are getting more brazen. If someone kicks down your door your first reaction could well be panic or disbelief and that wastes time.

I do not carry while in my house, but I do have them strategically placed through out the house just in case someone on the outside decides to do something stupid.

You can carry in your home and on your property here in Illinois, too.

I put mine on ( SS 6906 S&W left arm pit ) when I get dressed and take it off when I get ready for bed. And that is with at least 4 or 5 grown German Shepherds ( we raise Silver Sables ) roaming the area.

When you get something that is comfortable you just don't worry about removing it.

I live just south east of los angeles.
Last year I was out in my garage,
late one night,
waiting for the phone company.
I saw a black and white stop in my drive way.
Two Deputys came down the drive way,
I walked up to greet them.
After greetings were exchanged,
they asked if I had seen anyone run through my yard.
I said no,
but I had been in and out of the house a few times,
they asked if I minded if they took a look in the back.
I of course said yes go ahead,
BUT,
I turned my back to them and raised my shirt showing them
I was carrying.
The response,
"OK
You should be carrying"
They told me to wait in the garage while they took a look.
didnt find the guy
they thanked me and left.
Now they had no problem with me being armed,
But,
it was late night.

The first line of self-defense is avoidance. If your doors are so weak that they can easily be kicked in, you need to spend less on guns and more on fortifying your home. With adequate passive defense you will have more than enough time to get over the panic stage and prepare for active defense.

you need to spend less on guns

Yeah, I know. I can't believe I said that, either.
